u cannot both condemn evil and recognize/acknowledge what is said in revelations (the end of the world, etc) without reaching a contradiction; if evil is necessary so that the day of judgement can happen, to wish it didn't exist would be to wish something against god's will, god's plan, etc. to say 'there shouldn't be evil' is the same thing as saying 'god doesn't know wtf he's doing' or 'i don't want what god wants'.

if god's plan is to bring judgement against the world, then he has to want evil to happen. contrarily, if god doesn't want evil to happen and people could be 'good' and turn things around, the book of revelations wouldn't be true... in which case u must now question the credibility of the entire bible (not the only reason for doing so but a big one).

now fortunately u don't have to waste your time trying to figure a way out of this becuz this christian god doesn't exist and all that revelations bullshit and the devil playing the seducer/tempter/prosecutor who works for god goes right out the window with him.

now u might feel like there's evil in the world when u observe the most henious shit but that stuff is just ugly, not evil.

for bonus points u could really piss the christians off by turning the whole thing around on em; not only is there no evil, but the vast majority of suffering incured since the dark ages has largely depended on the ideological effects, demands and consequences of christianity itself.

but u gotta give it to em slowly or their head'll implode.

no siriusly the irony of christianity and everything surrounding it is so perfectly fantastic, so shining and conspicuous, that an atheist - or let's say an agnostic - could almost be convinced a god does exist and is playing a trick that only very, very, very few figure out. see what i mean? it'd be one thing if a few mistakes were made and an arbitrary religion wuz invented somewhere one day. u could just write that off as some of man's mess. but christianity is such a perfectly done, perfectly designed crock of nonsense, it's difficult to believe history just happened to happen like that.

it's as if some kind of wolf god created christianity so that the world would continue to offer up sheep for thousands of years. a religion for the herd, as it were, who could never truly comprehend what god is. I'm tellin u man there's some deep esoteric stuff going on here and I'm not tryna freak y'all out but shit ain't like u think it is.

and by sheep i don't mean they ought to be slaughtered. bad metaphor, i know. what i mean is the meekness, the lack of experience, the subterranean fear and anxiety that drives them, etc. it's a terminal child-like psychological state of regression. they see suffering and death everywhere and want to condemn all of life, bring everyone down to the lowest common sufferer, make us all 'equal' (as if your problems are anything like mine or vice versa), and so on. it's spiritual exhaustion. it's nihilism. i mean fuck if anything is nihilism, it's that shit. everything it teaches is wrong, anti-life, anti-world, anti-pride, against self love, etc. they couldn't have gotten the terms of life more backward.

meanwhile here we are four thousand years later and everything that could be done to improve life for people all over the world remains stifled to this day by that godforsaken religion.
The reason God does not exist in any method of certainty is because IT reaps humanity for animals 666.

Do you under_stand?

lol u oughta see what's going on over at Don's house now. family and friends have descended like vultures on that place now that he's dead. i get home (i should say 'here' rather than 'home'... hard to call a place 'home' when everyday u have to talk yourself out of strangling the other person that lives there) from work and see like six of em hanging out on the porch. it's one of those things where the family pretends to be saddened by the death while in fact they're all delighted that he's gone cuz now they all get something for free when they split up his assets. a george Floyd kind of event; a broke lower class black family who cries on camera but is out livin it up with the settlement money when not standing behind crump shouting 'amens' as he babbles on about nothing.

we're at the stage now where the fighting over who gets what will begin. i think three of em are gonna move in over there. young black dudes and a couple baby mommas.

Poor thing. Cats don't usually "howl" so perhaps it is feeling unwell or something? I had a dog that used to whimper all the time when there was a thunderstorm. We tried giving it a "security" vest to make it feel better but that didn't work. We would pet and cuddle it when it was whimpering but it didn't seem to put it at ease. There didn't seem to be much we could do about it. We eventually found out from the vet that it had a brain tumor. The brain tumor eventually started to put pressure on his skull so that we could no longer pet him on the head without hurting him. Rather than let him continue to suffer, I ended up being the one to have him "put to sleep" or euthanized. It broke my heart to no end to say goodbye to that dog. It was a wonderful canine companion while it lived. I still miss it to this day. :cry:

Hi Gary, thanks for da ree-sponse. Sorry to hear about your dog.. how long ago did it happen?


Do cats yowl when lonely?

There can be some significant behaviour changes when a cat is experiencing loneliness and accompanying anxiety: Increased vocalisation: A cat will wander through the house, meowing constantly or even yowling looking for someone to answer them.

I think it’s this^^ as he stops, once I’m up and feeding and watering him and giving him attention, coz I sure can’t do it.. when I’m asleep. :twisted:

He is now lounging beside me, with a full belly and attention requited.. he likes attention, in a ‘look at me aren’t I gorgeous’ kinda way. :roll:

You seem to be aggravated by its behavior. If that is the case then I feel sorry for your cat. I can perhaps relate in superficial ways to what it may be going through.

Well thanks for thinking the worst of me.. having a cat with his character/disposition, requires an owner with a very good sense of humour.

He’ll do anything to get food, even if that means getting me up Nth times a minute to let him out into the garden and then a few seconds later wanting to be let back in and running to his bowl, thinking that there will be food ready for him, even though he’s just eaten but wants more.. I started ignoring that behaviour pattern and now he’s stopped.. thank God!

I have M.E./fatigue, and it was making me very unwell. :| plus.. nobody likes a fat cat/fat cats. :lol:

I'm sorry for my misunderstanding, then. It sounds like your cat is very fortunate to have you as its caretaker. :|

..no worries. :D

I feel lucky to be his owner.. he’s got quite the human disposition, so we jam well together.. apart from when I’m in party-mode and disturbing his rest. He does annoying things too, so there’s no hard feelings, between us.

He does other mad things, but I think I’ll leave it there.. :shock:

for two people to be able to trade freely between themselves without it being the business of anyone else is a beautiful thing and i get it. that's all capitalism proper ever represented. it's a principle that makes perfect sense.

okay now check it out. the impasse reached by socialists and capitalists is one generated from moralizing the argument and failing to recognize the logic behind each position.

the wage worker should be able to understand and appreciate the reasoning behind capitalism just as the capitalist should socialism if both can keep ethics out of it. of course most philosophers believe politics/economics and ethics are intimately linked but I'm an amoralist with moon, mercury, venus and Lilith in aquarius so i give two shits about how hurt your feelings are by capitalism or socialism.

what we're doing is understanding the reasoning behind two existentially different classes of people in society. we understand what the capitalist is thinking and it's a good idea. now what about the wage worker. well it makes sense for these guys to want to cut out the middle man and exchange their goods and services directly with the consumers in society if that meant they would profit more from their own labor.

if I'm working for Joe and he sells my product for one dollar more than he pays me to make it, why wouldn't i want to sell my product myself and make that extra dollar. if there wuz ever a no-brainer, it would be right there.

socialism for ethical reasons is neat but that's not what gives the idea its fortitude. it's actually coming from the very basic economic principle of maximing profit by making production easier and more efficient, e.g., at some point a group of five workers are gonna say 'hey what is the owner of this company doing that we can't do ourselves' and their gonna start conspiring to get rid of em and split his share up.

It's always been the case. the idea wuz that regular folks, tradesmen and merchants could produce and trade their own property without getting the king's permission or giving him a share of the profit. capitalism wuz that break from feudalism. that radically different kind of economy.

now u can't forget its humble origins when u look at the world today and see all the wealth in the hands of fifty people. that part wuzzint part of the plan.
